It gets more ridiculous daily, from destroying historic statues to starting a witch-hunt against Boris Johnson for saying — in 1997 — that “Muslims weren’t exactly angels.” He’s was correct then and his words are still true, as can be seen when one observes the human rights abuses worldwide that are regularly committed in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings. And contrary to the present ginned-up hysteria, it is quite clear that he was referring to Muslims fighting in the wars in the Balkans, not to all Muslims.
Yet predictably, Johnson’s words are being treated as though they were “blasphemous,” transgressing against the mainstream narrative about the “Srebrenica genocide.” There have, however, been different accounts of what actually happened in Srebrenica. It is undeniable that many Muslims were massacred there; however, whether what happened was actually a genocide, on par with the the genocide against the Jews in Nazi Germany and World War II Europe, and the genocide of Armenian, Greek and Assyrian Christians in Turkey in the early twentieth century, is open to question. Read the Jihad Watch article from 2009: “After 14 years of investigating events that took place in Srebrenica in 1995 I can attest there was no genocide over Muslims in that enclave.”

“Boris Johnson slammed for saying Muslims ‘weren’t exactly angels’ in unearthed article,” by Sian Elvin, Metro, June 19, 2020:
The Prime Minister has been slammed for an article he wrote more than 20 years ago about the Srebrenica genocide.
Boris Johnson wrote in the Daily Telegraph in 1997: ‘All right, I say, the fate of the Srebrenica was appalling. But they weren’t exactly angels, these Muslims.’
The comment was penned as part of a response to Nicaraguan actress and human rights activist Bianca Jagger, who wrote an essay accusing Western countries of collaborating in Bosnian Serb atrocities against Muslims.
He also said: ‘Sometimes there are causes where there is no room for cynicism, and where frankly it is immaterial how much she is driven by moral outrage and how much by the desire to burnish her halo.
‘She is on the trail of an infamy that is in danger of being forgotten. ‘It is two years after what appears to have been the worst massacre on European soil since the Third Reich.’ Mr Johnson later added:
‘But what could the West really have done? Fought hand to hand with the glass-eating hordes of Serbia? This wasn’t our war, I suggest. Like all Bosnia hawks she believes it could have been done from the air.’
The Srebrenica genocide saw the mass killings of more than 8,000 Bosniaks – the majority of whom were Muslim by religion – in a town in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina in July 1995 during the Bosnian War….
